Two men were arrested on federal drug charges after federal agents shut down their marijuana-growing operation in south Denver.
Agents raided a home on South Holly near Hampden on Tuesday. They found more than 200 pot plants, more than $400,000 in cash, guns and another controlled substance.
Agents were doing surveillance on a horticulture store in Aurora and followed customers who bought hydroponic growing supplies.
Many who grow marijuana often use hydroponic equipment.
Civil rights attorney David Lane said this is a common tactic. "There is nothing illegal about seeing who comes and goes from a hydroponic store. There is nothing illegal about following them to their houses, or finding out where they live. There is nothing illegal about walking up a driveway and sniffing out a garage to see if it smells like marijuana," said Lane.
Kevin Randall and Luke Short were arrested. If convicted, each man could be sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Neighbor Dan Conwell had no idea what was going on inside the home. "Not a clue. As far as I know, he's a skydiving instructor," said Conwell.
